Patridge joined the show in 2006 and was among the few cast members to feature in all six series.

Speaking to E! News, Patridge suggested that much of the tension on the show was manufactured by producers.

"In the beginning, a lot of it was real," she said.

"As it went on, it was very manipulated and guided and you're kinda put in these scenarios where you would show up and you didn't know what you were in for until you were there, and you wanted to run out, but they lock the door on you."

Patridge added that she was also asked to fight with her co-star Kristin Cavallari.

"I actually had to leave early for another event, we were there for about three hours and they were like, 'You can't leave until you and Kristin get into a fight'," she recalled.

"So I'm like, 'Oh my God, Kristin!' Kristin's like, 'Let's do it.' I'm like, 'OK, c'mon.' It was about Justin [Bobby] and we did it and we got to leave. So, little things like that."
